Im going to pick up P4 because it is a sequel to the most unorthadox JRPG. P3 kept me busy for a whole year. The story was great. The charcaters develop , mature, and are actually interesting (esecially Junpei). The music is the best part. I jam to the music on my ipod all the time. P4 will be more of the same, but better!

I accidently stumbled across the SMT series. A friend was telling me about a game earlier in the day, I think he was talking about Eternal Sonata, and when I went home from work I wanted to go look it up. I couldn’t remember the name then someone mentioned the name Persona, so I looked up Persona 3 and watched game play. I was instantly hooked, I went to the local GameStop and pre-ordered the game. Needless to say, I loved it. It was the only game I’ve actually played through 4 times. From what I hear, Persona 4 just improves everything that made Persona 3 so great, how could I not pick it up?

Persona 3 is the best RPG I have ever had the fortune of playing, and the SMT series as a whole has impressed me immensely. Needless to say Persona 4 is probably my most anticipated game for this year, even more so than Gears Of War 2. Also, the plot seems much more compelling than P3’s (which i still thought was very good). Lastly the soundtrack is awesome (for P3 and P4).

reason to buy this game? the plot! from what you’ve written down the plot looks like it’s going to become really interesting. a murder mystery instead of the destruction of the world isn’t something that you’ll find often ^^

the SMT series on a whole has interested, the Persona series has had a better run with me for its more contemporary setting. I was already planing the buy P4 before Atlus sweetened the deal, and I still plan on buying it

Persona 3 was pretty good, so it stands to reason that Persona 4 should be pretty good as well. I’m reasonably upset that ATLUS refuses to do away with the Japanese honorifics, but I suppose I’ll take what I can get.

Persona 4 is definitely safe bet for the holidays. I’m going to buy it because it’s virtually guaranteed to keep me entertained over the holidays.

I’ll be picking up Persona 4 as soon as it releases because it’s the closest thing we’ll ever get to a “slice of life” or “school life” anime that we actually play through. That’s what drew me into Persona 3; not the dungeons or battle, but the interactions with other characters and sense of importance every conversation had.

It was a great relief in days of generic tomfoolery in games and a brave move by Atlus, just as brave as continuing to keep their MegaTen games genuinely challenging/frustrating. So, I’ll support their ingenuity and keep RPGs from becoming stale recycles as long as possible. Or something.

I will definetly be picking this up come release day! I LOVED P3 and simply cannot wait until this comes out in fact as soon as i finish Wild Arms 5 ( I know i’m a little behind) I won’t be starting anything else until P4 so i can devote all my time to that. I only wish that it came out this week since it’s my b-day on the 22nd…

Persona 4 will be a day 1 purchase for sure, but I unfortunately doubt I’ll ever get around to playing through it. I was completely hooked on Persona 3, but never reached the end, and I’m sure the same problem will occur in Persona 4. The SMT games are so damn addictive, but they just take way too much time to complete. On top of that, I don’t really have a ton of free time anymore.
